'Where do you think IEDs come from? You think farmers and merchants are mixing ANFO in their huts?'

Tell me whwne I am wrong:

You don't lay down square miles of landmines in a conflict against insurents, i.e. Taliban. You only do area denial against real militaties.

In a conflict between any real militaties, like the recent Russia vs Ukraine, no-one is wasting their time making IEDs.
